We need more info. The alternator is necessary, but the starter turns the flywheel to start the engine requiring a good battery. Does the battery turn the engine over, does the engine fire the spark plugs. Is there sufficient gasoline in the tank to start the car? Please give symptoms. Thanks.
it'll be something to do with the fuel or spark. check fuel pump, plugs and distributer cap, fuses wouldnt hurt either.
yes...who wouldnt?
As long as the battery is fully charged it will start no matter the condition of the alternator. Eventually the battery will run down if the alternator is not keeping it charged.
did you unhook the battery before replacing the alternator
alternator?

It will start if there is enough charge in the battery to turn the engine over. However if the alternator is weak then the battery will not be charged fully.
Start the truck then disconnect the battery if it's still running the alternator is good
Alternator
The alternator, or stator, is behind the pull-start cover on the right side of the engine.
the batteries only serve to start the car and the alternator. I'm not sure if it would be your alternator but it's not the battery.
If the battery is fully charged and the starter is working properly it will turn over and start. The alternators sole purpose is to supply voltage to the vehicle and battery when the engine is running. When the engine is not running the alternator has nothing to do with starting the engine. If the alternator went bad and the battery was discharged then you will have to charge the battery before it will be able to start the engine. Do not jump start the engine with a dead battery if you can avoid it. This puts a strain on the alternator trying to recharge a dead battery and can damage the alternator, even a new one.
